UNSPSC 40151737: Pump bowl assembly

A component of a vertical turbine pump consisting of the pump impeller and the impeller bowl. The Pump Bowl Assembly also converts the velocity energy as it leaving one impeller, to pressure energy at the inlet of the next impeller.

UNSPSC 40151737 Pump bowl assembly is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure replacement and new pump bowl assemblies, lineshaft pump bowls, and integrated pump systems for potable water, wastewater treatment, and emergency response operations. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of single-source procurements for OEM-specific equipment, competitive bids for commodity pump components, and larger infrastructure contracts incorporating pump station installation and rehabilitation. Issuing bodies span water departments, utilities, county commissioners, and city public works agencies, with particular activity concentrated in Florida (Hillsborough County, City of Tampa, City of Tucson, Pinellas County, Broward County), where municipal water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades and maintenance dominate the procurement landscape. The code also captures specialized pump equipment for fleet and facility operations—bus wash systems, pool circulation pumps, irrigation systems, and emergency portable pumps for hurricane response and bypass operations.

Recent opportunities include the City of Tucson's annual requirements contract for lineshaft pump bowl assemblies (RFQ 260134, due Jan. 7, 2026) soliciting sixteen bid items ranging from 8-inch to 14-inch bowl assemblies with pricing evaluated on both delivered cost and 15,000-hour operating expense; Hillsborough County's competitive sealed bid for Sulzer Brand ABS Piranha grinder pumps (ITB 26-00134, due Feb. 25, 2026, estimated $270,270 over two years); and the City of Tampa's single-source procurement for Milton Roy pump replacement parts and new pumps at the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility (26X01471, due July 21, 2026, $40,000 estimated value). Geographic activity clusters in Florida, Arizona (Tucson), and Texas (Dallas, Temple), with smaller procurements posted by New Hampshire, Oregon, Illinois, and New Mexico. Single-source and OEM-specific awards reflect the technical and manufacturer-authorization constraints common to this code—many state and local systems rely on proprietary equipment requiring factory-authorized parts and maintenance, creating defensible sole-source and limited-competition scenarios. Competitive opportunities remain available for commodity-grade assemblies, mobile rental equipment, and emergency response systems where standardized specifications allow multiple qualified bidders.
